Sept. 9
My new baby has arrived. I originally planned of purchasing it after I got my backpay from my previous employer but then decided not to na lang because I wasn't so sure how long I will be unemployed. I could really use that savings to feed myself, pay the rent and travel from time to time (turns out I was jobless for 6 months, I've stretched those savings in more possible ways than I could thought of but it just wouldn't be possible without the Cheese financially supporting me!).
Sept. 10
Bought a screen protector for it. Tumataginting na 450 pesos jusme! Because of that, I have to settle for a very cheap case protector because I don't think I (erm the Cheese) can afford to buy a fancy one for that. Okay lang, as long as hindi malunod sa pawis at fingerprints ko yung item, I'm good with it!
Sept. 11
Plans for today:
* Dentist appointment
* Grocery shopping for our trip's toiletries and other stuff
* Watch Despicable Me (hopefully!)
* Not sure if getting the suitcase from Kimi's house (and packing that will ensue) will be in today's agenda. Depends.
* Tinker it!
Sept 12.
* Hopefully just stay home
* Watch UAAP Cheer Dance Competition. Yay. GO UP!
* Pack?!? As I will have no time to do it come Monday.
I feel exhausted now just thinking of it. Yikes!

It's Official!
While hanging out in front of my old college department in UP (after accompanying Pam in getting her TOR and while waiting for Eman), Pam and I were nonchalantly reading the stuff posted on the Geography board and came upon the list of newly graduate Geographers. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: Uy, graduate na pala si Kim o! Tsaka si Jon at si Aui!
Pam: Onga no.
Me: O si Jarlo pala ngayon lang din gumradweyt?
Pam: E ikaw graduate ka na din di ba?
Me: Onga no! (na-shock bigla sa realization then skimmed the list to look for my name)
Ayun Panganiban! Shet graduate na din pala ko! (laughs idiotly).
Alam ko walang kwenta at irrele yung paggawa ko pa ng conversation (but I give myself a C for effort to attempt mwahaha). But back to the story, yes, I have officially graduated. My dilemma now is did I really or can I consider myself a '07 graduate?! Or 2010 graduate na ko talaga? Kasi it will mean I spent 10 (gasp!) years in college as opposed to my original 7 years only (um-only pa!). Na-lost ako.
But still, whether it took us 7, 8 or 10 years pa, Congratulations to us all!

Open Happiness and the Maroons
Because I love my alma mater whether they win or they lose. Sometimes, it's not just about winning nor about losing.

Adventure Is Out There!
Everytime Pixar releases a new animation film, it feels like "this one can never be topped" but hey look here comes another one and you say "now this one sure couldn't be topped". Despite the sheer impossibility of flying your house by balloons (even with thousands of them), of it being unrealistic, the message of UP though, rings loud and true.
That it is never too late to have an adventure. Whether you're 8 or 77, you can still make your own adventure, can still relive your long time dreams of adventure.
Adventure is out there!
That adventure can either be found outside the comfort of your own house but sometimes it can also be found there inside yourself. An adventurous "you" that haven't been let out. For Mr. Carl Fredericksen, his and Ellie's childhood dream was realized only after almost 7 decades but certainly time is nothing. For Russell, it started quite early. Kids' idea of "adventure" and having that adventure in reality is quite different, definitely different. Something that Russell realized somewhere along the trip.
Their love story was the best 4 minutes of it all.
And while we adults cringe with the unthinkable scenes from the film (as kids all around shrieked with utter delight), I never doubted though the production's underlying message to all its possible viewers, to the humaneness of each characters, be it a bird, a child, a dog or a grumpy old man.
Jordan Nagai, the voice behind the rambunctious Russell
But perhaps, my favoritest scene in UP, the one responsible for tears welling up from my eyes so instantly, would have to be that scene where Russell was absently blabbering about fond memories of his always-absent father. Eating ice cream at Fenton's, counting blue and red cars and so on. He seemed so happy reminiscing about those days realizing how boring it sounded, but then goes on saying it maybe be boring but it's what he remembers best.
Or something like that. I have to see it again and remember it word for word. But the essence is there. Russell was a kid who was just yearning for affection that his own father was too busy to give which he certainly found from Carl. And boy, Carl does not disappoint at the end.
All in all, it was such a fun and heartwarming film that I sure as hell will watch again and again and again..

Araw ng Pagkilala (KAPP: April 21, 2007,UP Theater)
Hindi man ako nakaakyat ng stage para kunin ang diploma ko, ayos na sakin na makita ang mga kaibigan ko na kunin ang mga diploma nila..maging proud at super saya habang tinatawag ang pangalan nila at kinakamayan ng dean at panauhing pandangal namin. Ang saya talaga pala ng feeling habang nandun sa loob ng theater dahil sa okasyong iyon: ang pagtatapos. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng magulang na bumati, mga kaibigan, kay june na nagbigay ng bulaklak at sa lahat ng taong kumuha ng pichur..nakakasilaw man at nakakangawit, ayuuus lang! By the way marami pang pichurs sa multiply ko so if interested, click lang sa gilid. :)
kulitan lang habang nasa labas pa sila
my sablay moment with eman the cum laude and pam the proud graduate
ang gaganda!
izay, me and june after the ceremony
ang napakakulit at uber cool na Department Chair ng Geography, Sir Meliton Juanico.
Pam, Kimi and Me sa stage. Lahat ng tao ay nagkakagulo na!
I really appreciate everything that they've done to me. JP here was hugging me while congratulating me because he (among others) said that it was also my day. :)Congratulations guys!
Hanggang sa susunod na mga hakbang sa buhay.

The Graduation Slash Thank You Edition!
Graduaaaaaate na ko!!!!!
Hindi lang iisa ang dahilan kung bakit masayang-masaya ako na nakagraduate na nga ako (although hindi pa official). Una na siguro dun ang Finally. After n years of staying in UP (and-I- wouldn't-bother- explaining-why-it-took-me-that-long-but-if-you-want-to-i-could-tell-you-just -ask- me!) sa wakas naman ay makakasagot na ako, proudly, na "oo, graduate na ko". And I guess everybody dreamt of graduating right? I'm just one of them. Pangalawa, it only means that i am SOOO over math now. After my nth time of enlisting, sleepless nights, insane days you've caused me (and my other friends too!), praying, buying bluebooks, photocopying sample exams, cursing all my teachers and other horrible experiences, I'm so, so darn happy it all paid off even if it took me many times just to overcome you. Lastly, makakahanap na ko ng trabahong mas matino dahil may lisensya na ko for that another whole world out there. OR NOT!!!
Pero kasabay ng pagtatapos na ito nangangahulugan lamang na maraming taong dapat pasalamatan all throughout the years. Syempre hindi ko pa maibabalik sainyo ang lahat ng tulong na ibinigay nyo sakin sa ngayon pero someday, mangyayari din yun. Sa dami ng papasalamatan ko ay hindi ko na alam kung maaalala ko pa kayong lahat, kasi kahit mga taong hindi ko naman naging close talaga pero naging part kahit once ng college life ko ay kino-consider ko nang nakatulong sakin. Hayaan nyo someday ay mababayaran ko din lahat ng kabutihan ninyo!
Sa lahat ng nag-congratulate at super happy para sakin nung gabing nalaman ko na pumasa na ko sa math ko, maraming salamat sa pakikisama sa kasayahan ko. Super elated ako nun to the max: barbs, june, mon, leidz, kimi, pam, nj, em, hummy, anna, jas, mitch, izay, tita edna, tito rene, honey , jenna at mikki. Sa 2 taong kahit na hindi ko naman nasabihan pero apparently ay nakarating sa kanila ang balita: ed and glady. at sa nag-email para i-congratulate ako: jog. Maraming salamat sainyo guys!
Ang college life ko nga pala by the way ay hindi lamang resulta ng iisang tao bagkus ay collective effort ng maraming maraming taong nabulabog kong tumulong sakin over the years (nasabi ko na ata to in my previous entries). Although hindi ko alam kung san magsisimula, siguro sisimulan ko na lang sa:
*lola dearies ko
Lola Teddy at Lola Sarah. Syempre sila ang pinakaunang dahilan kung bakit nakapag-aral ako sa UP kahit ayaw ng iba kong mga kamag-anak . I'm sorry pero it was UP or nothing at all. Akalain mong determined na pala ko noon!
*We Are One
kayo ang unang pamilya ko sa UP. Grabe, kung ikekwento ko man yun, it should be a whole another story to tell. Ate Grace, Honey, Izay, Che-Che, Jog, Popsie at Rocky, ika nga ng Fall Out Boy Thanks for the Memories.
*Block N2 friends ko na sina Weng at Jan!
*UP Sorg orgmates and families ko especially batch dos mil!
* Sa lahat ng classmates ko nung high school na sobrang naging close ko nung nag-college kami, sobrang treasured yun.
*UP Explore orgmates and families! I Love UP Explore!
*Geography Department friends. Ang hirap i-categorize kasi mga naging kaibigan ko sa department ay naging orgmates ko at superfriends pa. pero nevertheless maraming salamat pam, kimi, juraine, ed, ela, sarah, mitch, jayvie, leriz, june, essie, jp, raymond, mona, eman, van, aileen, chantel,lady, dean.
*Aurora fieldmates. 2nd year anniv na natin mga tsong!
*Lahat ng maging teachers, professors, instructors ko then and now, whether pinasa nyo ko or not. Pero special thanks kina sir Mandigma, Ma'am Vallesteros, Sir Leyson, Sir Sonny Ortega, Ma'am Nantes, Ma'am Yany. At sa lahat ng mga tumanggap sakin nung nag-prerog ako sa mga klase nyo, grabe, salamat talaga.
*Kina Sered, Ma'am Abad, Mang Cris at Mang Rolly( sa pagtanggap sakin bilang SA for 2 years).
*Sa Bermillo family. Grabe supeeer talaga! For all the support: financially, emotionally and especially spiritually! Sobrang na-feel ko kung panong magkaron ng pamilya dahil sainyo. mahirap i-define kung gano ako nagpapasalamat sainyo sa lahat ng tulong na ibinigay nyo sakin pero maraming maraming salamat talaga.
*sa lahat ng mga naging groupmates ko. sa sobrang dami na nun ay hindi ko na rin kayo matandaan pero you also deserve to be thanked kasi pumasa ko sa subjet na yun kasi ka-group ko kayo. ahaha!
*sa lahat ng mga drivers ng jeep na pumayag na hindi ako magbayad at patawad naman dun sa lahat ng mga jeep na winantutri ko..:(
Maraming Maraming Salamat sainyong lahat kasi either kayo ay: tumulong sakin na magbayad ng tuition fees ko, nagpapakain sakin kapag wala akong pera (which is always!), nagpautang sakin pag wala na kong pera, nanlibre ng pamasahe, nagpakopya ng assignment, nakikinig sa mga laments ko sa math, thesis mates ko, nagbigay ng libreng bluebooks sakin, nagpahiram ng mga ballpen, mga nag-share-a-load at nagload sakin for free. madami pa pero hindi matatapos to kung iisa-isahin ko pa. So in short, nagpapasalamat ako sainyong lahat kasi naging patient kayo sa akin whether as a friend or classmate or orgmate, because of your unwavering support and belief na matatapos ko din ang lahat ng ito someday. at eto na nga yun!!
pero hindi pa dito nagtatapos ang lahat..panibagong simula lang sa isa pang mas masalimuot na mundo.
pero as of now, kampai lang muna ng kampai!!
